About the host
Hosted by Beth Hedgecock
It is a pleasure for me to design comfortable spaces for others to gather and make memories. We are a small family run business so please keep in mind we do not have staff on call 24 hours for non-emergencies. We give our guests space to enjoy our home without interruption as much as possible. My husband and I work closely to design spaces under the Effortless Corporate Rental brand.
A little about me.... I love reading, family time, and strong coffee. Along with my husband, I love to travel and see the world. Mostly the little known places where we can enjoy great food and even better conversations getting to know the residents. I was born on the East Coast, grew up in the Midwest and have lived all over the world. We finally settled in North Alabama several years ago after having lived here on and off for the last 20 years.
As an experienced traveler and under the Effortless Corporate Rentals brand, my husband and I strive to bring our travel experiences to our guests, providing the needed amenities for a comfortable stay.
We are hands off hosts and give everyone their space but don't mind hearing from you should any issues arise during your stay.
